sound the shoe horn
you might remember me from shoe obsessions such as 'red reebok high-tops: too big? stuff them with toilet paper', ‘I know the sole is torn ½ way off! wrap em with duct tape and get on with your day', and 'they pinch my feet but i love em'. Today we embark on a journey to zappos.com where the shipping is free (and reckless (remind me to get back to that)) and the inter-isles are endless. i recently purchased these "babies">>> 
or for surfing purposes, "luv my flats by ninewest". two short days later they arrive via my faithful ups delivery man (sorry faye, not everyone's ups guy hates their customers (i think it's just everyone's ups guy hates you)). i slip (no pun intended) the slippers on and wah-la! im transformed into the ballerina i always hoped to have been but never bent to be. admittedly, they pinch the back of my heels with its folded leather lip but faye insures me they'll stretch so i keep them. (and for crediting purposes, agent storm did buy these (in pink) and recommended them in the midst of my too-expensive-london-slipper rant. thank you.) maybe i shoulda sprung for the size 9. Thunder storm had the 9 and they fit me fine. i suppose it's the woman in me that denies i need anything larger than an 8 - even if they do only come in whole sizes and run a bit too small.
speaking of too-expensive-london-slipper rants, the london slipper is too expensive! and with such colors as...
true blue
ladybug
and butter
... who wouldnt be upset at the $120 price tag?
i hope to add a few more colors to my collection whether they be a knock off or the real deal (mike neil (oh, you remember him, c'mon))
immediately past the slipper, to the right, you'll see the hyde park heels.
these little calves originated from the anthropology, anthropologie.com. maybe it's mad cow disease or the pinch-your-toes virus but they've been marked down a surprising 199$, now 99$! (isnt my birthday coming up soon???) and i must say what a clever description written about the shoe, "A walk through time, courtesy of Lulu Guinness. Nouveau-printed black suede, laced and scalloped with golden leather, rests atop a 3" heel." "scalloped" should be more copious in my vocabulary. consider it scallopingly done.
i suggest a quick flip thru the sale net-rack before you leave.

sorry, but you've got it all wrong. i get it if you can't afford the london slipper at $120. but me and my friends have a bunch of colours in the london slipper - they are ther SLEEKEST, COOLEST, MOST UBER-CHIC ballet flats out there. why do you sound so angry? sure the nine west ones are cheaper - but helloooo - they KNOCK-OFFS and UGLY ONES at that. they look like boats - the toe is so clumsy - like a clown's shoe!!!!
as for true blue & butter, my friends and I have them & they are way chicer looking than the nine west knock-offs in white.
now it's cold and i've forgotten about the slipper.
maybe i'll splurge next spring.
